Methods and Results Forty-two patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) underwent electrical cardiover- sion via intracardiac electrode catheters prior to and after the intravenous administration of nifekalant. The suc- cess rate of the defibrillation and change in the defibrillation threshold using sequential incremental defibrillation energy deliveries was investigated. In addition, the parameters that could predict the beneficial effects of nifekalant were also assessed. Nifekalant significantly decreased the defibrillation energy requirement in 13 of the 42 cases, and nifekalant also converted AF to sinus rhythm with an identical energy to that of the last unsuccessful defib- rillation in 21 of 42 cases. The success of defibrillation seemed to be dependent on significant prolongation of the intracardiac atrial electrogram intervals during AF by the nifekalant. Conclusions Intravenous nifekalant significantly improved the electrical defibrillation efficacy in patients with persistent

  • Modeling Atrial Fibrillation Using Human Embryonic Stem Cell

Tibbits 10, Published: xx xx xxxx Gordon Keller11 & Peter H. Backx12 Since current experimental models of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) have significant limitations, we used human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to generate an atrial-specific tissue model of AF for pharmacologic testing. We generated atrial-like cardiomyocytes (CMs) from hESCs which preferentially expressed atrial-specific genes, and had shorter action potential (AP) durations compared to ventricular-like CMs. We then generated confluent atrial-like CM sheets and interrogated them using optical mapping techniques. Atrial-like CM sheets (~1 cm in diameter) showed uniform AP propagation, and rapid re- entrant rotor patterns, as seen in AF could be induced. Anti-arrhythmic drugs were tested on single atrial-like CMs and cell sheets. Flecainide profoundly slowed upstroke velocity without affecting AP duration, leading to reduced conduction velocities (CVs), curvatures and cycle lengths of rotors, consistent with increased rotor organization and expansion. By contrast, consistent with block of rapid delayed rectifier +K currents (Ikr) and AP prolongation in isolated atrial-like CMs, dofetilide prolonged APs and reduced cycle lengths of rotors in cell sheets without affecting CV. In conclusion, using our hESC-derived atrial CM preparations, we demonstrate that flecainide and dofetilide modulate reentrant arrhythmogenic rotor activation patterns in a manner that helps explain their efficacy in treating and preventing AF.

  • The Example of Short QT Syndrome Jules C
    Hancox et al. Journal of Congenital Cardiology (2019) 3:3 Journal of https://doi.org/10.1186/s40949-019-0024-7 Congenital Cardiology REVIEW Open Access Learning from studying very rare cardiac conditions: the example of short QT syndrome Jules C. Hancox1,4* , Dominic G. Whittaker2,3, Henggui Zhang4 and Alan G. Stuart5,6 Abstract Background: Some congenital heart conditions are very rare. In a climate of limited resources, a viewpoint could be advanced that identifying diagnostic criteria for such conditions and, through empiricism, effective treatments should suffice and that extensive mechanistic research is unnecessary. Taking the rare but dangerous short QT syndrome (SQTS) as an example, this article makes the case for the imperative to study such rare conditions, highlighting that this yields substantial and sometimes unanticipated benefits. Genetic forms of SQTS are rare, but the condition may be under-diagnosed and carries a risk of sudden death. Genotyping of SQTS patients has led to identification of clear ion channel/transporter culprits in < 30% of cases, highlighting a role for as yet unidentified modulators of repolarization. For example, recent exome sequencing in SQTS has identified SLC4A3 as a novel modifier of ventricular repolarization. The need to distinguish “healthy” from “unhealthy” short QT intervals has led to a search for additional markers of arrhythmia risk. Some overlap may exist between SQTS, Brugada Syndrome, early repolarization and sinus bradycardia. Genotype-phenotype studies have led to identification of arrhythmia substrates and both realistic and theoretical pharmacological approaches for particular forms of SQTS. In turn this has increased understanding of underlying cardiac ion channels.

Flecainide significantly prolonged effective refractory period (ERP), intra-atrial conduction time (IACT) and monophasic action potential duration (MAPD), and its effects on ERP and IACT were use-dependent. Nifekalalant significantly prolonged ERP and MAPD, and these effects were reverse use- dependent; however, there was no significant change in IACT. d,l-Sotalol significantly prolonged MAPD and the effect was reverse use-dependent. It significantly prolonged ERP, but the effect was not reverse use-dependent. d,l-Sotalol increased IACT in a use-dependent manner. Thus, for atrial fibrillation, class Ic antiarrhythmic agents might be more effective in termination and class III antiarrhythmic agents might be more effective in prevention.
